What We Do
DAPCEP programs engage students in the training and preparation required to develop their skills and build confidence. We believe that with access to high-quality academic experiences at an early age, students will grow into STEM leaders who help solve pressing global challenges.
On Saturdays during the school year, in camp format during the summer, and with programs throughout the year – we motivate, expose, and prepare students for futures in STEM fields. Youth learn in science and engineering laboratories on college campuses, meet STEM professionals, and explore a wide range of STEM topics.
Core program models include:
- Six-eight week courses on Saturdays in the Spring and Fall (Saturday Series)
- Multi-year, cohort model programs
- Pop-Up STEM workshops and STEM Days
- Signature corporate collaboration programs
- College prep courses
- Curated in-school STEM programs
-ALUMNI STORY-
“I am eternally grateful for the foundation my DAPCEP participation gave me, helping me learn how to think like an engineer and apply an engineering pedagogy to everything I’ve ever done. I don’t think I would’ve made it back to STEM and transitioned into a career in cybersecurity after all these years had I not spent the formative years of my childhood in DAPCEP, and now that I’m in the field, I look forward to giving back to the organization any way I can in the years to come.” – Marcus Cylar, Associate Incident Response Case Manager at FR Secure
